What is your most memorable wedding?
Honestly, every single wedding! Memorable moments include my Bride and Groom having a private dance to the string quartet while their guests went to dinner, The groom wiping his bride's happy tears, and sharing a prayer with the bride and her father
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

The comments - and the hugs - at the end of the night!
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
When you start to plan - describe your wedding as though it just happened. This will highlight the overall style that you want - trust me, it works!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
Tambourines! Lauren and Wayne put a personalised tambourine out for every guest so that when they entered the reception...well, you can guess the rest!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
Once you have booked me for your wedding day, I am at the end of a phone anytime you need some help or advice. Shortly before the day we will talk through the plan for the day, and then on the day - leave it to me! I'll be there with you and there for you all day
What is the most unusual thing you’ve been asked to plan?
I've certainly had some "moments" at weddings - the surprise carnival dancers, the food truck that couldn't get through the gateway, being told with zero notice that I was compering a show by the families. Each is greeted with a smile and a "no problem" while using my 35 years of experience to come up with a solution or to adapt. And I did, each time!
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
That's my job! For you - just relax and enjoy the day. Things might not go to plan, but don't overthink it. It doesn't matter if the silver candles aren't in the chapel (true story!). Let me deal with everything so you don't have to worry about anything
What do you love most about your job?
Helping a couple to have the fun, romantic and memorable wedding of their dreams
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
Making sure that the couple get some time to themselves. Its my privilege to be able to arrange this, and to see some of the more intimate "bask stage" moments (not THOSE intimate moments!!!)
